Healthy Heads in Trucks & Sheds (HHTS), an industry foundation dedicated to the mental and physical wellbeing of transport industry workers, is celebrating the arrival of its second truck from PACCAR and its dealer network.
The ceremonial handover of the keys to the custom-designed T410SAR took place at the Kenworth DAF Bayswater plant, with plans for a big unveiling of the unique final design at the Brisbane Truck Show which runs from May 15-18.
The partnership officially launched at the same event in 2021 with the rollout of a DAF LF260 which has proved to be an invaluable HHTS resource.
“In our first three years of operating the DAF Road Show vehicle, we have seen very strong demand to have the HHTS team onsite, raising awareness and delivering programs designed for the diverse and unique needs within our sector,” said HHTS CEO Naomi Frauenfelder.
“This truck will enable further delivery of these programs, reaching more people with essential support and resources.”
Damian Smethurst, Managing Director of PACCAR Australia, said the company is proud to deliver this truck to HHTS and hopes the expansion of its delivery capability across Australia, promoting and delivering vital mental health resources, will continue to foster a culture of support and understanding among those in our industry.
HHTS said its Healthy Heads Road Show program is a cornerstone of its outreach strategy, designed to connect individuals directly with resources and programs that promote mental health awareness.
The initiative currently delivers more than 40 events annually, reaching approximately 4000 individuals each year. In addition, HHTS completed over 350 free health screenings in 2024 alone, emphasising its commitment to proactive health management.
